Question 5:      How are the brakes controlled?

• The front brake lever is controlled by your right-hand fingers and controls braking to the front wheel. The front brake is the most effective brake on a motorcycle. The front brake lever is squeezed in to control braking. Squeezed in, not pulled in abruptly.

• The rear brake is pressed to apply braking to the rear wheel. 

• Learn to use both brakes together, it helps with braking control and creates a good habit pattern so if both brakes are necessary for an emergency stop, applying both brakes is second-nature.
